Configuration

The Configuration section of serial port information includes the electrical interface (Port

Type) and basic serial settings.

Signals

In the Signals section shows the serial port signals are green when asserted (on) and gray

when not asserted (off). The meanings of the signals are:

RTS

Request To Send.

CTS

Clear To Send.

DTR

Data Terminal Ready.

DSR

Data Set Ready.

DCD

Data Carrier Detected.

OFC

Output Flow Control. This signal indicates that flow control is enabled on the remote

side of the serial-port connection, and that the Digi device should stop sending data.

IFC

Input Flow Control. This signal indicates that the Digi device is operating as if flow

control is enabled for incoming data sent from the remote side of the serial-port

connection. This signal is more of an indication that flow control is intended or expected

rather than true state information. If the remote side has a flow-control mechanism

enabled, the Digi device will use it.
